The weekend has arrived! At least for me anyway. I am at home now waiting for a van full of Nelson Kite Club members to pick me up. They'll be on their way out of town, going to the Moose Madness Kite Buggy Meet at Muriwai Beach. Here's the rough plan of the weekend.
In about an hours time we leave here for picton (2 hours away). We stay the night there at the house of yet another clubbie.
Friday 5,30am (arrrgghh) we catch the first ferry of the day to Wellington in the North Island. When then drive all day to Auckland and finally to the camp ground at Muriwai Beach.
Saturday we pack up from the camp ground and drive 50km up the beach to 'Moose Lands', a huge expanse of hard black sand and huge sand-dunes. A kite buggiers paradise! We camp in the sand dunes Saturday night (must be fully self sufficent here, bring our own water, etc).
Sunday after more buggying we head back down the beach and begin the drive back to Wellington, stopping for the night somewhere on the way , depending on how tired we are.
Monday, catch a ferry back and drive to Nelson. Probably collapse from exhaustion upon arrival.
Tuesday I have taken off work for recovery....
Now I'd better finish packing.... Don't you hate that feeling like you know you forgotten to pack something but can't think what?
